Needless to say, I’ve already pre-ordered my hardback copy. Cooney, poet extraordinaire and writer of words both pretty and dark, is giving us a new collection, consisting of two previously published but uncollected tales plus a bunch of new stuff. Mythic Delirium, the publisher behind the amazeballs collection Bone Swans, is making me very happy with this latest announcement. Cooney brings us new Hopepunk with Dark Breakers But he is without a doubt one of the most exciting new writers in SFF and I hope he’ll give us many more novels, novellas, and stories in the coming years.Ĭ.S.E. Tochi Onyebuchi’s win makes me particularly happy, even though Riot Baby isn’t my favorite work of his. That said, I really enjoyed Legendborn and am super happy that it got the award. My favorite YA novel didn’t win (again!) but I still have hopes for the Hugo Award ceremony where my precious Raybearer might get a Lodestar award.

Best Novelette: Aliette de Bodard – The Inaccessibility of Heaven.

Best Novella: Tochi Onyebuchi – Riot Baby.

Best Novel: Rebecca Roanhorse – Black Sun.

Here are the ones that I found most interesting: Check out the full list of categories and winners behind the link in the title. So huge congratulations to all the IGNYTE winners. With a shortlist this great, it was a foregone conclusion that the winners would make us all cheer.

The IGNYTE Award Winners Have Been Announced (I’m not getting paid by Illumicrate, I don’t have a partnership with them (I wish), I’m just a huge fan of their special editions.) Or, if you have enough disposable income, go treat yourself and get them all. But at least I can share them with you and we can all suffer together.

Sadly, that means that I won’t be buying these equally stunning editions of Circe and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller even though I really, really want to.I already splurged on special editions of Raybearer and Redemptor, but I am also totally going to buy these exclusive naked hardbacks of the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee with new and shiny covers. Illumicrate is trying to take all my money recently.Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko is being adapted for Netflixand I CAN’T STOP SMILING! I don’t know if you’ve heard me mention that duology once or twice (or a hundred times) but I am beyond happy that it’s getting an adaptation and if they do it right, it will look so stunning.I’ve only read the first book ( it was super adorable!) but I can’t wait to see this crazy adventure translate into a visual medium. The Sal and Gabi books by Carlos Hernandez are getting a TV adaptation which is being developed by Eva Longoria.Spooky time is here! And with October comes a lot of adaptation news, some super shiny editions of previously published books, a lot of publications to look forward to, and of course more SFF awards.
